SCORING
2. A game consists of thirty points obtained by tricks alone, exclusive of any points counted for honours, chicane or slam.
3. Every hand is played out, and any points in excess of thirty points necessary for the game are counted.
4. Each trick above six counts two points when spades are trumps, four points when clubs are trumps, six points when diamonds are trumps, eight points when hearts are trumps, and twelve points when there are no trumps.
5. Honours are ace, king, queen, knave and ten of the trump suit; or the aces when no trump is declared.
6. Honours are credited to the original holders and are valued as follows:
| DECLARATION. | ♠ | ♣ | ♦ | ♥ | NO TRUMPS | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rubber 100, Grand Slam 40, Little Slam 20. | |||||||
| Each Trick above Six | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 12 | ||
| H | { | 3 Honours | 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 30 |
| O | { | 4 " | 8 | 16 | 24 | 32 | 40 |
| N | { | 4 " (All in one hand) | 16 | 32 | 48 | 64 | 100 |
| O | { | 5 " | 16 | 32 | 48 | 64 | 100 |
| U | { | 5 " (4 in one hand) | 18 | 36 | 54 | 72 | — |
| R | { | 5 " (All in one hand) | 20 | 40 | 60 | 80 | — |
| S | { | Chicane | 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | — |
7. If a player and his partner make thirteen tricks, independently of any tricks gained by the revoke penalty, they score Grand Slam and add forty points to their honour count.
8. Little slam is twelve tricks similarly scored, and adds twenty points to the honour count.
9. Chicane (one hand void of trumps) is equal in value to three honours, i.e. if partner of player having chicane scores honours he adds the value of three honours to his honour score, while, if the adversaries score honours, it deducts an equal value from their honour score. Double Chicane (a player and his partner both void of trumps) is equal in value to four honours, and the value thereof may be deducted from the total honour score of the adversaries.
10. The value of honours, slam, little slam, or chicane, is in nowise affected by doubling or redoubling.
11. At the conclusion of a rubber the scores for tricks, honours, Chicane, and Slam, obtained by each side are added, and one hundred points are added to the score of the winners of the rubber. The difference between the completed scores is the number of points won or lost by the winners of the rubber.
12. If an erroneous score affecting tricks be proven, such mistake must be corrected prior to the conclusion of the game in which it has occurred, and such game shall not be considered as concluded until the following deal has been completed and the trump declared, unless it be that the game is the last one of the rubber,—then the score is subject to inquiry until an agreement between the sides (as to the value of the rubber) shall have been reached.
13. If an erroneous score affecting honours, chicane or slam be proven, such mistake may be corrected at any time before the score of the rubber has been made up and agreed upon.
